PRISONER OF WAR MAIL: 1944 Osaka POW Camp
Nippon envelope to Australia from Gunner PM Tully
with Japanese censor chop on face and brown tape at top but no
postal markings, the enclosed letter in pencil on Japanese
notepaper headed "OSAKA POW CAMP/6-11-44" refers to the allowed
topics of mail received, weather, etc but must have transgressed as
one line has been erased and another scored out & also includes the
scarcely credible line "... I am in fair health.", envelope with
some blemishes but letter fine. It is very unusual to find the
actual letters along with POW covers, especially one written on
'official' stationery. The illustration is above lot
